WebLogic 9.2 Loadbalancing problem

1.8k views Asked by At

I have a setup of 2 independent WebLogic 9.2.1 servers (they are Managed servers with their own Admin server). So no Clustering has been setup. They are configured with JDBC Session Persistence. Furthermore each of the WebLogic servers have their own Apache 2 Front-End with the WebLogic plugin only forwarding traffic to their respective WebLogic server. In front of the Apache 2 servers I have a hardware Load Balancer. Currently we are getting Constraint Violations from the Oracle database that hosts the table used for session persistence.

I found out that the hardware load balancer is using sticky IP's (so sessions should also be sticky as a result). But it escapes me what is wrong in the setup?

The fact that those are 2 independent servers (without clustering in WebLogic sense) does not stop WebLogic to generate same ids for sessions. If those 2 servers where in a cluster, then WebLogic would add node id as part of the session id. But becuase servers are not in the cluster, of course, there is a chance that at some point they will generate same session id.

The only way you can avoid that exception is to configure both servers to use different tables or database for session storage.
